Icebreaker Men's Tech T Lite T-Shirt

The Icebreaker Men's Tech T Lite T-Shirt is a breathable shirt for summer hiking. The Tech T Lite is 150gm, an ultralight, packable tee for the outdoor adventurist. The shirt takes up less space in your pack, and is odor resistant. Switch between two or power through mile after mile in one shirt, either way, less laundry and light in weight. The 100% merino wool is soft against the skin and wicks moisture away from your body like a champ.

but very, very comfortable. The wool is light and feels good against the skin; non-itchy too. These light, merino wool shirts are the best things to wear during a hot summer whether you're just chilling or out hiking. A great product by Icebreaker!

Icebreaker Tech Ts are by far my favorite shirts for physical activity. I've used Under Armor, Mountain Hardwear, and other off brand synthetics in the past and for me, that funk (you know what I'm talking about) comes on quick. I sweat a lot when I hike/workout but these shirts do an awesome job of dispersing the sweat, allowing it to dry faster and help keep you from feeling clammy. I have no problem reusing a Tech T for 3 outings before washing them. For example, I've gone up and down Mt. Si drenched, let the shirt dry/air out for about a day, then wear it to the gym the next. As far as fit, I'm 5'3" with a muscular build and the medium fits me pretty good. It has an athletic fit near the shoulders and chest and is more loose around the stomach. I've tried the Smartwool shirts and the fit is more narrow throughout, which I didn't like. It's a little long, which is welcomed as it doesn't ride up past my pack waist belt. The wool is soft and I don't find it itchy at all.

I got this shirt recently despite being a little bit skeptical about the cost. After wearing it for the first time, I understood why it is priced how it is -- Its quality is pretty amazing. This is my first piece of merino wool clothing, and I will have a hard time now blowing a fortune on other merino articles of clothing in the future. The shirt feels great in everyday scenarios and also for things like yard work and exercise (not that I know much about that).

I purchased an Icebreaker T last summer. I was hesitant at first due to the price, but I was tired of being hot, sticky and smelly while backpacking. I bit the bullet and spent the money. I found that my new shirt kept me dryer with no sticky feeling like I've had with my poly shirts in the past, and there was almost no body odor. This was pretty exciting! So much so that I bought a long sleeve and a 260 half zip for colder weather. The warmer top rolls up smaller than a fleece and is just a tiny bit heavier. Well worth it! There is a hint of wet wool odor when you perspire heavily, but that disappears as quick as the moisture wicks away. I'm so impressed with the shirts that I'm buying a spare T today. Great product!

Like many people, I was a bit skeptical of wearing wool in hot weather for hiking, but this thing lived up to all of the wonderful things I've been told about merino wool. It doesn't feel like the wool I remember from years ago, it is soft and very comfortable. After several hikes on warm days without washing the shirt, it didn't smell... that never would have happened with cotton or any of my synthetic shirts. It's expensive for a shirt, but the fact that I can wear it backpacking without offending my travel companions makes it worth the price. If you are thinking of wool as a scratchy material reserved for cold weather, think again and give this shirt a try.

This is my first Icebreaker T-shirt. I have used many different moisture wicking shirts over the years but have NEVER worn one as comfortable as this! The long cut is very nice and they really mean it when they say it doesn't stink. After finishing a mountain bike ride the shirt smelled great, I however did not. I have never seen a garment before like that and I will definitely be getting more of these.

The fabric on this seems stronger than the previous 150 weight Icebreaker I owned, but get the 200 if you want better durability. Just wearing around town or exercising, it should hold up fine, but if you want a hiking shirt, opt for thread that won't tear or stretch out as easily if you catch a branch or gets pulled too hard. Of course, 200's weigh more and can be too warm, so it's good to keep a balance on hand.

These shirts are great. Super soft, don't pill, not itchy, and they always look new. I feel like people brand merino as the do-it-all fabric, but the one thing it doesn't do well is manage stupid amounts of sweat. Being active in Arkansas means that will happen. It just gets soggy and sticky, and never dries out. Go synthetic for that...otherwise, wear this!
